Deep4Life brought a breath of fresh air to house music in the late 90s. A handful timeless house music releases made it a cult label known for submersible oriented, yet dancefloor-friendly productions. One of the leading figures, DaRand Land, who hails from the post industrial confines of Buffalo, NY continues to engineer the emotive tunes. With ambient synth-driven tones and heavy funk basslines being at the center of his sound, DaRand Land’s music often evokes an introspective quality, without losing its groove fundamental.

DaRand’s works, which span decades on deep house labels such as Downbeat, Confluence and Pulp have been described as “uncompromising” and has afforded him a passionate following of listeners who seek a more thought-provoking brand of underground music. Teaming up once again with Scissors and Thread – the perfect fit for his sound – DaRand Land drops an album “Wander Being” full of crafty, trippy house for the heads.

Friday January 3rd 10PM: GRAPPA 2GO welcomes DaRand Land in the EVR booth to play B2B with Moody Mik.
